Thoughts on b8?

A quick update on the b8 I have...I've got about a dozen lathers in at this point and the tips have softened just slightly. The scritch that was there initially is still present but perhaps slightly less so. Backbone is stout and it's a lather machine. Cheers!

After about 20 uses my B8 has really softened up. The tips have started to exhibit some gel and the backbone is very present. This is quickly turning into my favorite batch. I prefer it over B7 and B4.
